Top 10 Patient Engagement and Experience Alternatives & Competitors

Vibe Health Insight is an integrated Digital Whiteboard that replaces dry erase boards in patient rooms with real-time information. Insight integrates with theEHR to display accurate and reliable information every time.

Insight is a responsive technology that eliminates the need for nurses to spend valuable time updating dry erase boards, double checking information, and replacing old markers. For example, when a care team member enters the room, real-time location system (RTLS) integration can allow a pop-up to display, notifying the patient who has entered the room. Similarly, the whiteboard can display completed rounds based on actual rounding activity.

Patients and families can also interact with the platform via the pillow speaker handset, companion touchscreen, or even their own phones or devices.

The solution is also flexible in that it allows patients to toggle between a full-screen whiteboard or a combination view with television. Whiteboards can also be standalone displays, separate from the patient console.

Sample whiteboard display items include but are not limited to: Patient’s assigned care team, Daily schedule goals or tasks, ordered medications, estimated discharge date, discharge preparedness, pain scale, hospital information, completed rounds, patient questions for the care team. 

Andor Health was born over 4 years ago with a single mission; to fundamentally change the way in which care teams, patients, and families connect and collaborate. By harnessing the latest innovations in OpenAI/GPT models, our cloud-based platform unlocks data stored in source systems - such as electronic medical records - to deliver real-time actionable intelligence to care teams within ubiquitous virtual collaboration platforms like Zoom. By perfecting communication workflows, our platform accelerates time to treatment, decreases clinician burnout, and drives better patient outcomes.

HealthNautica’s eORders™, software is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, cloud solution for managing the entire perioperative process and surgical scheduling without changing your scheduling system. It begins with the physician’s office filling out an online surgery scheduling or procedure request.

Gone are the days of illegible, incomplete, inaccurate faxes sent back and forth between the physician’s office and the facility’s scheduling department. The cumbersome and error prone faxing process is replaced by an electronic form that is configured to each facility’s exact specifications and reacts to the user’s input thereby assisting the physician’s office in getting it right the first time.

All orders are legible, complete, screened for CMS Medical Necessity, incorporate SCIP, VTE, SSI and ACS NSQIP measures, verified for insurance eligibility, pre-certified and satisfy edits by CMS, commercial payers and the facility. Our solution ensures efficient surgery center scheduling and block time management while streamlining processes such as prior authorization.

Alelo’s Enskill platform uses conversational avatar technology to create Virtual Patient Navigators that listen to patient concerns, answer questions, and connect patients with educational and other resources. All recommendations are grounded in accredited content that is approved by the healthcare provider, eliminating the risk of hallucinations. Enskill uses generative AI to transform a healthcare organization’s existing content on the Web and YouTube into an interactive learning resource. Enskill develops a profile of each user (patient, caregiver, healthcare professional) and their situation, and uses it to personalize responses.

Enskill Virtual Patient Navigators improve the quality of patient and caregiver experiences. They support users with low health literacy. Resource Navigators can promote treatment compliance and improve health outcomes. They promote patient engagement, develop self-efficacy, and lessen anxiety and stress. Enskill Virtual Patient Navigators align well with telehealth initiatives.

Enskill also provides simulated patients and caregivers that train healthcare workers (e.g., patient navigators, community health workers) in patient support skills, and helps them keep abreast of new developments in treatment. Trainees develop skills much faster and are able to apply them immediately in a clinical setting.

Alelo combines the latest in AI technology with research in human learning to help healthcare providers improve the patient experience and transform training and education. Alelo was a Finalist in the XPRIZE Rapid Reskilling competition, in which it rapidly trained community health workers and placed them with healthcare providers. Over 500,000 people have learned new skills with Alelo products.
